The ACL injury that Gavi got is not just an ordinary injury, it is a very serious injury, currently Barcelona is fighting to be in the top 3 and in the UCL they are fighting to be able to win all the matches that will occur. Barcelona management was reportedly very angry with this incident, they said that dropping Gavi as a Strater was a stupid decision, hopefully, with the sophistication of medical treatment today, Gavi can recover from his injuries quickly.
It's natural that Barcelona is angry because they have to accept the fact that this season they have to lose Gavi until the end of the season. Xavi has to be quite realistic about the depth of his squad because Barcelona is not completely safe from the storm of injuries that befell its players. However, several academy players could be options for Xavi following a serious injury suffered by one of his mainstay players.
Barcelona has a creative midfielder who can help them gain stability in the game. De Jong, Pedri and Ilkay are 3 midfielders who are good enough for Xavi to rely on, but several other midfielders must also be on the bench because each player needs rotation at one time or another. Fermin Lopez and Marc Casadó are two great midfielder prospects at Barcelona, so Xavi may need to give them plenty of minutes when others need rest.
